suit for 100,000 for breach of contract which she has started against oscar hammersteln miss frances lee gave out excerpts from some of the letters which she claims mr ham . mersteln wrote her during the ten years j and more of the acquaintanceship as im presario and singer in the story told last night miss lee claims damages ln that she says mr ham mersteln by hl promises kept her from securing a place in grand opera mr hummerstein went more into details to-day and said that one little word cov ered everything in the suit it is the word camaraderie " said mr hammersteln i wrote the letter pub lished as i have written thousands of similar ones my business ls to force singers between us must exist the cam araderie which enables me to understand them they are like spoiled children often you see you have to coddle and encourage them and to force their talent and often expend money to develop their voices if i bail them tenderly md them go out into the woods and sing loudly why it does not point to anything but my interest in their success that's all it all comes from my principle of success â€” camarader ies between manager and singer you see all encouraged alike i encourage them all as i did miss lee she was not singled out for prefer ence once i thought she would be great because i can't make them all stars then i am sued she may have other letters from me in my business one has to bfe and pleasant it is a nice way to be moreover it sometimes brings about complications that may be misunderstand ings i am looking for a good singer whether she has letters or not miss lee did

scenery behind the cur tain at the manhattan opera house to night miss lee said she did not care to dis cuss the case she said that in addition to singing for mr hammerstein she had cared for him and nursed him on several occasions when he was 111 and all this took up her time and kept her from pur suing her studies when she was shown mr hammersteln's interview in which he j said he had written a thousand similar let ters and it was necessary to coddle nnd force great singers miss lee said simply well if mr hammersteln wrote such letters to all the singers he tries to force i he certainly must need a large corps of stenographers she added â€¢ mr hammersteln was al ways as a father to me and when he wished none could be more kindly or more fatherly describes love and grief one of the letters dated aug 2 1904 contains nearly 2,000 words it reads in part as follows at your departure on that hot june afternoon you kissed me you hugged me before a lot of people in a public place almost and i

proprietor showed the assistant chief through the place and said with a sweep of his right arm you see there is no gambling going on here which was all very true because every body who had been ln the place had run for dear life when the bomb exploded the noise was so great that it caused a panic among the fltty inmates of the bouton home for women at 55 ada street schuettler talked to the employes of the place as soon as masterson could re trieve them from the far points of refuge they had sought out immediately after the explosion he interrogated edwin gard ner too and when he started away he
